Each Pass will clearly and conspicuously disclose its Purchase Price.

iii. Expiration Date: Each Value Pass will carry a unique expiration date that will be determined by YCS® in its sole discretion. Each Value Pass will clearly and conspicuously disclose when that Pass expires, as well as any other material terms pertaining to the Pass.
